Hello, and welcome to our final edition of 2021.
Image supplied by kind permission of ARUP
The festive season is upon us and we’re all looking forward to spending quality time with family and friends. This is the time of year that many make New Year’s resolutions and will start planning for what they hope to achieve in 2022. Have you thought of any yet?

 

In this Christmas edition we remind you of the evidence required when submitting self-assessments, share a link to the Training Portal trouble shooter tool and advise you of the recent Standards changes.

 

If there is anything you’d like to hear about or think we should include in our bulletins next year, do let us know.

Merry Christmas

This summer CITB created new resources to ensure you get the most out of using the Construction Training Directory, including a Trouble Shooter online tool to help you quickly and effectively navigate the CTD.

 

The Trouble Shooter helps identify and correct any issues quickly and easily. Try it for yourself here.
We also created support and training webinars that include tips for getting the most out of the system, a reminder of the features and benefits and plenty of time for you to ask questions. If you’d like to request a session for you or your team, please let us know by competing this Expression of interest.
